Evening Edition: 9/11 Victims Families Want Declassified Answers on the Terror Attacks
Summary
Brett Eagleson, president of 9/11 Justice, discusses the ongoing federal lawsuit against Saudi Arabia, arguing that the FBI buried evidence linking a Saudi intelligence operative to the 2001 attacks. He details seized materials, including videos of the operative hosting hijackers and casing the U.S. Capitol, which a federal judge found credible enough to warrant a trial. Despite bipartisan congressional support and a 2016 law allowing such suits, the case is currently stayed pending an appeal in the Second Circuit, where oral arguments are scheduled for October 7.
